The Contra Costa County Office of Education is launching a new initiative, Choosing Civility. They have invited the Mt. Diablo Unified School District to participate. The initiative is inspired by the work of Dr. Forni, the author of "Choosing Civility: the 25 Rules of Considerate Conduct". Through a broad-based collaborative effort, the goal is to transform Dr. Forni's concepts into a workable, meaningful plan that can be integrated into the culture of our schools, government, businesses, organizations, neighborhoods, and families throughout the greater Contra Costa County.
